What do they do? I was wondering after they cap their sword skill can they do some dd with Gs? No its somewhat rare to have a nin/war or war/nin in a pt with a pld/war or a regular war at low lvs but what could a pld do if they arent tanking?

Re: When a pld is not a tank
i have actually been in many situations where I as the PLD did not tank because of a NIN in the party who wanted to. I switched from PLD/WAR to PLD/NIN and dual wielded swords. I also equipped some DD gear aswell and I became a lesser version of a WAR/NIN.
Granted, it can kinda suck when your so used to provoking and you dont have to - but it can also be a nice change of pace. -
Re: When a pld is not a tank
if you check out the thread below PLD/SMN u will find 1 thing PLD do when they dont tank.
Sometimes and remember is only sometimes i pt with another pld or nin then i would switch my eq to accuracy eq or mp depend on what is more needed etc.
oh do i have to say what i do with my accuracy eq? to try to damage of cos >.<
and with mp gear to get more mp to help cure.
Remember all this will only work well if you have good eq for mp or accuracy. if not you just gimp and pretty uselessComment

Re: When a pld is not a tank
PLD/WAR single-weilding a sword-and-shield will almost always make a better DD than PLD/NIN. Things change at endgame, but before that, don't even bother with PLD/NIN for DDing. Great Sword is mostly worthless for DDing too, until endgame as well (Spinning Slash comes to mind.)
Basically, PLD will only not tank when there's already another tank, or when a tank is not needed.

Re: When a pld is not a tank
when im pld and not tank i just switch to GS to get the skill up so i don't have to do it later, and i back up cure as well switching my VIT rings for mp equipment.Comment

Re: When a pld is not a tank
I hope I don't offend anyone, but a PLD that isn't tanking, isn't doing much of anything.

Re: When a pld is not a tank
Actually, PLD can DD if using Berserk, eating meat/sushi (depending on level) and equipped like a WAR. The problem is that most people don't meat those requirements. A PLD will never DD as well as a pure DD, but we can do good damage. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone though, since, like I said, any other DD will do better.Comment

Re: When a pld is not a tank
A WELL GEARED paladin in a deco party puts out a respectable dmg output.
A WELL GEARED nin will make a better one though, like literally

Re: When a pld is not a tank
I have to agree with Intensity on this...
No matter how much you want to think you can do even decent damage as PLD, you can't.
This is like WoW PLDs thinking they can DPS.
The only plausible thing for you to do is invest in a shitload of DD gear, like PCC, which is still about 16mil on most servers, alone, to bring you somewhere below 'almost slightly up to par' with DDs.Comment

Re: When a pld is not a tank
most pld I see says they have attacker gear available in their comments now.
A few nights ago I got to PT with pld/nin, nin/war, thf/nin, blm/whm(me) whm/blm brd/whm.
We were fighting anticans.
PLD could easily call hate with flash at the beginning for thf to SATA off nin.
The SC wasn't that impressive, vorpal blade > dancing edge for the aero SC not sure what it's called.
I could hit almost 700 with aero3 MB tho.
But over all we were hitting 5 chains for 160ish without any problem at all.
And when the anticans do their hate reset move, pld easily ran infront of me to cover.
It was a decent group.There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot,
but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence
transform a yellow spot into the sun.

Re: When a pld is not a tank
A PLD that isn't tanking is more than likely AFK getting some sleep or eating, or something not involving the computer/PS2. Sure, we could be complete tools and wear DD gear and eat sushi, but..Yeah, screw that. If I'm in a party and not tanking then I'm hitting the shutdown button.sigpicComment

Re: When a pld is not a tank
Well, if you're in a situation where there is a NIN and a PLD in a party, then you have to ask yourself which one would be the better DD? I think NIN should just be doing DD. Have them blow their gils on their elemental wheeling, but that's better than asking a PLD to DD.
However, I've seen PLD/THF with Spin Slash work decently. OK, so that's not your run-of-the-mill situation. So sue me. :p
